    Today the part of the taxpayer will be played by a doorman with scoliosis.

    1. Suki   15 years ago

      Good morning reason!

      Why, FoE, whatever are you doing here?

      Psychic Suki correct again.

      Oh, no did not even smile at this one.

      1. rctl   15 years ago

        Suki-offy?

          1. Enough About Palin   15 years ago

            Good Morning, Rectal.

            1. Mr Whipple   15 years ago

              I thought it was just me that saw that.

            2. bleek obummer   15 years ago

              Try to be civilized...

          2. bleek obummer   15 years ago

            Hey rctl!

            I haven't seen you here in a long time. I actually stopped reading the comments here when you left. Just noticed you today because of the comic and wanting to see others take on it. I went to your blog - nice hair. Just ignore the spoof - post what you think about the subject of the day.

            I'd like to apologize as a libertarian for all of the nasty comments that got sent your way here.

            Enjoy the weekend!

            1. rctl   15 years ago

              Thanks Bleek.:-) I read your last few comments and left you a reply.

              1. Fiscal Meth   15 years ago

                Aww. That was nice you guys. A little Rectal P.D.A. always tugs at the heartstrings

                1. bleek obummer   15 years ago

                  Nice handle Fiscal. Comment not useful.

              2. bleek obummer   15 years ago

                rctl -

                I haven't posted much lately. Where is your comment?

                1. rctl   15 years ago

                  rctlfy@hotmail.com

    2. ?   15 years ago

      Scoliosis as a metaphor for over-taxation?
      Payne is nothing if not subtle.

      1. Suki   15 years ago

        +1

  2. rctl   15 years ago

    I hate spoofs!

    rctlfy.wordpress.com

    1. rctl   15 years ago

      Spoof pos, you are a typical little libertarian boy hiding under your mommy's skirt. Why don't you come over to play on my blog.........so I can kick your ass.

      1. rctl   15 years ago

        rctlfy.wordpress.com

        Spoof neg, see me give head!

        1. Hobo Chang Ba   15 years ago

          And here we see a specimen deep in the throes of late stage multiple personality disorder...

          1. fart monkey   15 years ago

            Maybe rctl reproduces by fission like other bacteria.

          2. rctl   15 years ago

            for the record: that little shit spoof is not me and he is too fucking chicken to post on the little blog I created just for him. FUCK YOU!

            1. @@=========D   15 years ago

              you wouldn't mumble so much if you let me take my cock out of your mouth and put it in your ass where it belongs

            2. BakedPenguin   15 years ago

              Sorry about the comment I posted - I think I was referencing the spoofs you're talking about.

  3. mr simple   15 years ago

    So is the Volt prohibitively expensive, or should rich people not get tax breaks? I agree we shouldn't be subsidizing, well anything really, but what is he trying to say?

    1. ?   15 years ago

      He's saying that only rich, environmentalist scolds and celebrities will be able to afford a taxpayer-subsidized lemon.

      1. Mr Whipple   15 years ago

        So, all the poor people will have to drive '76 Impalas?

        1. Suki   15 years ago

          They find all the cool stuff.

        2. .   15 years ago

          If they can find one. Cash for clunkers got rid of alot of the old cars.

          1. Suki   15 years ago

            Being poor gives you lots of free time to find the cool stuff.

        3. Eazy-E   15 years ago

          I drive a '64.

          1. smalls   15 years ago

            Correction....you "drove" a '64. You died 15 years ago.

            1. AIDS   15 years ago

              It's mine now

        4. Democrats   15 years ago

          Not after we glass the engine.

    2. MikeP   15 years ago

      Many government subsidies -- and certainly most that are intended as nudges -- go to people who don't need the subsidies.

      1. Joe M   15 years ago

        WHAT?!

      2. Archer Midlands Daniels   15 years ago

        What? That's not possible. I don't know where you get your information.

      3. Sam Donaldson   15 years ago

        Really, I don't know what you're talking about.

    3. Paul   15 years ago

      Yes, yes, yes, and yes, and well, yes.

  4. CUBA   15 years ago

    Hey, we have some cool old cars we can sell to you. Oh, right, we can't. Nevermind.

  5. sage   15 years ago

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    1. waffles   15 years ago

      HAHAHAHA, OH WOW

  6. Enjoy Every Sandwich   15 years ago

    "Just a photographer to get a picture of me in this ridiculous car. Once that's done I can get back into my limo, and head to the Democratic rally to criticize people for not buying the Volt."

  7. J sub D   15 years ago

    Ford Fiesta - $13,320.

    You can buy a shitload of petrol for $20,180. More than enough to last the lifetime of the car.

    1. fart monkey   15 years ago

      Ford sucks.

      1. wingnutx   15 years ago

        Ford did not take the bailout. They scored a few points with me on that one.

        1. fart monkey   15 years ago

          Fair enough.

          But their cars are still junk.

          1. Windtell   15 years ago

            The ford focus was good. I don't know much about their other cars though.

            1. Quiet Desperation   15 years ago

              My '05 Mustang GT Convertible is very nice. Some computer doohickey got replaced at four years old but it was under warranty. Smooth sailing other than that.

    2. Obama   15 years ago

      The big three automakers are now profitable. Mission accomplished.

      1. encyclopedea of translations   15 years ago

        *translation:before the bail out, they were shit broke,...now , w/ obama money, they are still broke,only they are piss broke now.*

        1. Vermont Gun Owner   15 years ago

          Translation: I saved Ford because through the bailout because if their competitors had gone under the suppliers would have followed too.

  8. Law Student   15 years ago

    "Doctors are funnier when they explain that your AIDS medicine might give you anal fissures."

  9. West Coaster   15 years ago

    Glass is half-full:

    At least Payne got "smug" correct. Looked at the snippit on the main H&R page; didn't know *who* was driving--but definitely knew the driver was a smug progressive.

  10. ACG22   15 years ago

    Yes, heaven forbid people care about such things.

    1. non   15 years ago

      I care. I care about lots of things enough to spend your money on them. Hold on I've got a list.

  11. P Brooks   15 years ago

    I came, I saw, I went away.

  12. AlmightyJB   15 years ago

    Why does Reason hate Leonardo DiCaprio?

    1. Birds and rocks and things   15 years ago

      A better question might be: give a sound reason to NOT hate Dicaprio.

      1. fart monkey   15 years ago

        He was good in... uh... I mean I really liked that movie.. uh... nevermind.

      2. Slut Bunwalla   15 years ago

        Inception.

        Supposedly he was good in The Departed too, but I haven't seen that.

        1. Greer   15 years ago

          A Boys Life

          1. Bobarian   15 years ago

            What's Eating Gilbert Grape

            You could hardly tell he was acting.

            1. Kirk Lazerus as Osiris   15 years ago

              Uh huh, like he was the dumbest mothafucka on the planet.

            2. Kirk Lazerus as Osiris   15 years ago

              Uh huh, like he was the dumbest mothafucka on the planet.

        2. Paul   15 years ago

          The Departed... a move entirely about cell phones.

  13. Jim   15 years ago

    Why does the doorman (We'll call him Tax Payer) have his name tag aligned with his junk?

    By the way, this Friday Funny is racist.

    1. Fiscal Meth   15 years ago

      *This* Friday Funny is racist, huh David Duke?

      You are clearly insinuating that some Friday Funnies are NOT racist, thereby exposing yourself as A RACISM LOVING RACIST!!!

    2. Kyleey   15 years ago

      why can't he have his name down there? lol, at least most people will recognize him.

    3. Kyleey   15 years ago

      He has it aligned down there for functionality, not to mention it must be comfortable.

      What's wrong with writing your name on your pants anyway? Saves people having to look inside your shirt for it lol

  14. Jonathan   15 years ago

    Why does DiCaprio look like Jim Rome?

  15. Paul   15 years ago

    It was straight up win.

  16. Metazoan   15 years ago

    I miss Chip Bok.

  17. Mike Moskos   15 years ago

    The free market is bringing us THE solution for car fuel: swappable batteries for electric cars. Why is it THE solution? because costs are lower that petroleum (without subsidies). See Shai Agassi talk about it here: http://fora.tv/2009/07/22/The_.....hai_Agassi

  18. rctl   15 years ago

    I AM SPARTACUS!

    1. bleek obummer   15 years ago

    Article is very nicely written and I am happy to find so many useful information here in the post, thanks for sharing it here. I hope you will adding more.

  23. flet Quailty Replica Watches   15 years ago

    Incredibly, even as the debate over the new certification bill played out over the last few weeks, and even after all that has come out about Hayne over the last two years, Hood's office this past month has been prosecuting yet another case in which Hayne was brought in to overrule the opinions of another medical examiner.
